Frames

Hi I'm feverisly trying to upload a frame page with videos. Only the top
frame section is showing, no content on the left side or center frame. I've
saved all 3 pages individually also, only the header frame shows up.
When I try to upload I get an error message on saving style.css..... cannot
open "wpexxxx.css no such file or folder. I know thats a temporary file and
FP is saving there, can that be disabled? Is this why the frames are not
showing?

thanks in advance

Hi Newsie,

By your description there should be 4 files:

1. The frame htm
2. The top
3. The left
4. The content

Do you have a URL?

Hi MDW, thanks for the reply. That,s one of the problems, FP gives me an
error message (cannot open wpe42988.css no such file or folder) whenever I
try to upload. www.natesnursery.com/videos.html

the only thing that shows up there is the top content

I can copy/paste the coding from the 3 4 files if you like.

thanks again

Are you publishing this or just uploading individual files. I strongly recommend that you open a website in FP, create the web site
then publish to the server.

Thats what I'm doing. I open the site in FP, make the changes and just save,
it uploads to the server. Its an established site, I'm just trying to add a
few video clips.

Actually this is what I did.... taken from an earlier post...

Use a utility or a media player with a frame capture feature to capture
the image of the video clip frame to JPEG for each video clip. Then use
the JPEG image as the link to start the video clip.

But as you saw, only the top frame is showing. In my file structure, all the
files associated with this are there.

Also in FP normal view is ok, but preview shows nothing.

I normally go to the website, file/edit with FrontPage. Thats always worked
for me. May not be the 'correct' way.

If you wish to edit the web site live then open it in FP using File | Open Web Site | Enter the URL to the web site then edit the
pages with in the web.

Always have a web open to work in on a web site.

Hi again....thanks for helping me with this, I appreciate it.

I did what you suggested, I tried to open the frame page and the top frame
was there, no left frame, and the content frame has an error message...Could
not open http://www.xxxxx.com/imageset.html

I don' t have that particular html file, could this be the problem?

1) make sure you are opening a FP web /site (not just pages)
2) Your CSS file error is because the link is to a file on your desktop and not w/i the FP web
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Carol/My%20Documents/Picasa%20Web%20Exports/VIDS/style2.css"
type="text/css">
3) your frameset code is badly malformed html as

<frameset rows="10%,*" border="0">
<frameset cols="100%" border="0">
<frame src="caption.html" scrolling="no" border="no" border="0">
</frame></frameset>
<frameset cols="100%" border="0">
<frame src="imageset.html" border="0">
</frame></frameset></frameset>

And it should be

<frameset rows="10%,*" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="caption.html" name="header" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no">
<frame src="imageset.html" name="content" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto" >
<noframes><body>
<p>No frames content here.</p>
</body></noframes>
</frameset>

4) you need to be uploading 4 files

In code view Change

<base target="_self">
to
<base target="main">

and remove all the target="images" in your hyperlinks attributes

Gosh, this is tough. Maybe I should abandon this video idea. Thanks for your
help.
I removed the target="images" but it still isnt working.
